Chapter 12th
Theresa was nervous as hell while heading for her husband's private room. She had been thinking about what he was going to be like in the room after being away from the faculty.
A nurse came out of the private room as she had checked on whether he was waking. The blonde nurse with the hospital for ten years named Angie will see the woman Theresa stopping short of her.
"Are you Mrs. Theresa Newman?" she alluded to say placing his medical chart on the front part of the door as she waited for Theresa to answer her back.
"I am Mrs. Newman. I was told to come here since the doctor had told me that he was waking up from his ordeal." Theresa needed to have said to the nurse.
"I suggest that you go slow with your husband waking and the questions since he's still somewhat confused Mrs. Newman," she tells her with walking away from Theresa.
Inside the private room, the normal lighting had been down low in order to protect his eyesight for now.
Theresa walked in having to adjust to the lighting as she sees him laying in the large hospital bed breathing heavily with his COPD and other health issues. He was moaning slightly since he was able to hear his wife walking in.
She will say the following to him since she's able to tell he's awake. "What am I to do with you, Richard?" she says in jest even though he hates to be teased.
"I really don't know Theresa. However, I am glad that Robert Long abducting me is dead now. Hopefully, now I will be able to live a normal life now?" he was being serious now with a deep breath.
She moved to his face planting a quick kiss on his lips. "Let's hope so Richard! What did the doctors have to say about your body and the trauma you went through?" she will pull up a chair to wait on his answer to his question.
Taking a deep breath and a quick nod of his head caused by Parkinson's. "He said that I will need to take it easy for a few weeks since the stress had caused the seizures to intensify further with his body for the most part. Otherwise, I need to sleep more Theresa to help my brain and body to be normal again." he cried out in his response.
With a shake of her head. Theresa started to cry with the tears falling down her cheek as he places a hand on her face with his nails that needs to be cut. "I am so glad you're alive Richard. All of your friends at the faculty miss you a great deal as Mary Ann worried for the most part," she responded by getting off the chair to kiss him again. Only this time much gentler with the kiss from Theresa.
In a soft tone of voice, he will say the following to her. "Are you alright Theresa with you're own health?" he moved slightly in the bed only to be in some pain with his groin, legs, and hips. But she didn't bother to make an issue about it since he doesn't like to be babied.
"I will be Richard now that you've been found with help from Garcia shooting Robert Long. Listen I was told to stay for a short time since you need your rest. I will be back tomorrow after I call the doctor about your health in general. Now I need you to try and sleep which is much better for your brain, body, and mental energies." she remarked with another quick kiss to his cheek now leaving his private room to take a cab home back to the faculty.
